Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!

Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Did Jiang Li Finally Crash?

In the evening, the setting sun was like blood, dyeing the entire earth a golden red.

Although there had been a cool breeze in the mountains in the afternoon, it disappeared without a trace after the sun set, turning the earth into a giant steamer that was unbearably stuffy and hot.

Looking at the eerie colors in the sky, Qi Tianyu slightly furrowed his brows with worry.

“Could it really pour tomorrow? If my flight gets delayed, that wouldn’t be good.”

Beside him, Shu Yan asked in confusion, “Flight? What flight? You’re leaving tomorrow?”

“Yeah,” Qi Tianyu scratched his head sheepishly, “I’m not a regular guest. I’m only here for two and a half days. I’m leaving after lunch tomorrow.”

“Ah?” Hearing this, Shu Yan, looking sad, grabbed his arm, “Qi, are you leaving so soon? I really don’t want to let you go.”

Qi Tianyu shuddered, “Sister Yan, please don’t do this, it scares me.”

Behind them, He Yun also heard their conversation and couldn’t help but frown.

He was leaving tomorrow, and so was Qi Tianyu.

Losing two guests at once, wouldn’t it affect the show’s reputation?

When Shen Lan had persuaded him to sign the contract, she was so sincere. By doing this, it was like putting her on the spot.

He just hoped that his studio could offer a generous compensation; otherwise, he truly couldn’t rest easy.

[Wuwuwu, Qi is really leaving, that’s too soon, I can’t bear it.]

[Sigh, it makes sense for Qi Tianyu to leave since he is just a guest. ‘King of Roast’ Season 2 is about to start filming. He narrowly missed winning last season, so he probably needs to prepare better this time.]

[So, who’s the next guest? The production team is so tight-lipped, not a peep till now.]

[Could it be that person who just made headlines with that scandal? I’d love to see him transform on the show.]

[Dream on, you should go to bed. That’s not happening. Guests are chosen as contrasts to the regulars, and the production only invites artists with good reputations.]

As the live stream and social media were abuzz with heated discussions, the guests in the experimental field had completed their tasks and were preparing to return.

Qi Tianyu meticulously cleaned up the garbage around him, and after stepping on the ridge, he counted the people around, then looked perplexed,

“Isn’t someone missing?”

Jiang Yan snorted coldly, “Jiang Li already finished and ran off early.”

“No,” said Qi Tianyu, “Where’s Wen Jiaojiao?”

Once he mentioned her, everyone indeed noticed Wen Jiaojiao hadn’t followed them back and turned their heads in unison, only to be stunned in place.

Under the evening glow, Wen Jiaojiao was very earnestly planting cocoa beans, unconcerned about sweat soaking all her clothes, and she hadn’t even noticed their departure.

Qi Tianyu’s jaw dropped.

“What’s with Wen Jiaojiao today? Why is she acting so out of character? It’s not like her at all.”

He Yun also looked thoughtful, “Seems like she started working hard after speaking with Jiang Li.”

Qi Tianyu gasped, “Jiang Li has that kind of influence? Quick, have her wash my brain too, so I won’t be tired when I work tomorrow.”

Jiang Yan darkened his face and put his hand on his shoulder, “Trying to hit on my sister, huh? No chance.”

Qi Tianyu chuckled awkwardly, “Brother Yan, how could I dare? I was just joking, just joking.”

Seeing that Wen Jiaojiao had no intention of leaving, Shu Yan could only stand on the ridge and shout, “Jiaojiao, the sun has set, it’s late, come back and eat with us!”

Hearing the call, Wen Jiaojiao finally stood up but waved her hand, “No need, you guys go ahead, I want to finish planting this field.”

Everyone: “???”

Live stream: “???”

When did this little princess become so motivated?

[Did I hear wrong? Wen Jiaojiao said she’ll eat after finishing planting? Am I going mad, or is this part of a new script for her on the show?]

[It’s well known that Princess Wen usually brings her own resources to a production, and the plot develops as she says; so this is definitely not scripted.]

“I can’t do this anymore, I specifically created an account to bash the Princess, considering she hogged our Sister’s screen time before, but now… I suddenly can’t go through with it, she’s actually quite adorable.”

There was nothing they could do but to head back first.

Yet, they unsurprisingly walked towards the same direction.

Jiang Yan looked at the three people following him and frowned in confusion.

“Why are you all following me?”

Qi Tianyu spread his hands, “No choice, Director Sun told us to figure out dinner ourselves, and none of us can cook, so we thought we’d try to scrounge a meal from Sister Li.”

Jiang Yan huffed coldly, “You guys really know how to mooch, did I agree to this?”

Qi Tianyu blinked, “Then I should ask Sister Li first.”

“Hahahaha, I’m dying, even Qi doesn’t recognize Jiang Yan’s status in the household, hahahaha.”

“Jiang Yan’s face turned green hahaha.”

“I have to say, Qi Tianyu roasts beautifully, it has that ‘King of Roast’ vibe.”

As he spoke, Qi Tianyu bypassed Jiang Yan and walked straight ahead.

The others followed suit.

Left behind, Jiang Yan stomped his foot in anger.

Damn it!

When had he ever been so disregarded?!

These damn celebrities! If he entered the entertainment industry, he would surely do better than them!

–

The group, laughing and talking, soon arrived at the small cabin.

But when the door opened, everyone was dumbstruck.

Uncle Zhao’s small yard was crammed full of people.

Qi Tianyu stood frozen, rubbing his eyes in disbelief, “Damn it, what’s happening today? I must be dreaming again.”

Shu Yan also seemed surprised, “Why are there suddenly so many people at Jiang Li’s place? I hope nothing’s wrong.”

Hearing this, He Yun twisted her eyebrows and made a gesture to walk inside.

Seeing this, everyone else hurriedly squeezed in.

“?? Why are there so many people at Uncle Zhao’s house, what happened?”

“Blind guess here, could Jiang Li have been pretending to be a shaman and got busted? Maybe they’ve come to settle scores.”

“Jiang Li must have caused some trouble, right? Otherwise why would so many people come?”

“Finally watching Jiang Li’s downfall live, I’ve been waiting so long for this livestream, saying her whole persona is fake and you didn’t believe me.”

However, the voice captured by the microphone surprised everyone.

Aunt Ying was seen holding Jiang Li’s arm and wouldn’t let go.

“No, Master Jiang, you have to accept this token of gratitude, otherwise we won’t be at peace.”

A young man beside her chimed in, “Yes, Miss Jiang, if it weren’t for you, Lai Fu still wouldn’t have peace, this time, we must thank you properly.”

Seeing this, others also started shouting:

“Master Jiang, sell us a few of those Eternal Life Talismans, it’s perfect for my mother’s upcoming seventh day of passing.”

“Master, sell them to me first, I’ve already brought the fortune-telling fee.”

“Master, I don’t want the Eternal Life Talisman, I want a fortune telling. I forgot to bring the fortune-telling fee, so how about going straight to my house for dinner? They said you don’t get meals while filming this show, poor thing. We just slaughtered a sheep at home today.”

“Come to my house for a meal, I can have my wife slaughter a plump chicken right now.”

“What are you talking about? The Master should come to our place, she helped predict my child’s future last time, and I haven’t had a chance to properly thank her yet.”
